01 / Why physio-led
Pilates guided by professional Chartered Physiotherapists.
Every class is led by a Senior Chartered Physiotherapist trained in the APPI method.
We grade each exercise so you work the right deep core muscles first, then build strength, balance and flexibility at a level that suits you. You are always under the eye of someone who knows how bodies move, and how they get hurt.

03 / In their words
"Great class. Excellent to have an experienced physio to teach! Fun and never notice the hour go by. Look forward to it every week. Always feel better for going!"
Karen Muldoon
"Colleen is a very experienced, excellent Pilates teacher. The classes are focused, well structured and hugely enjoyable, due to Colleen's great personality and her music choices! She varies the programme from week to week, introduces different apparatus, and boredom is never an issue. Exercises are always well explained and demonstrated, and Colleen is careful to observe that students are performing them correctly. Each week, I leave the class with a sense of achievement and a lighter step. After several years with Colleen, moving from level to level, Pilates is an indispensable part of my life."
Kay McElvey
"I joined Colleen's first Pilates class almost 5 years ago, not really knowing what to expect. Nearly 5 years on and I hate to miss a class. I really feel a huge difference in my core strength, which was pretty rubbish to begin with. It helps with posture and everyday fitness and really helps in sport too. Colleen's great at motivating, ensuring you go at your own pace but maximising your capabilities, always checking that you're not doing anything to injure yourself and showing you how to correct anything you haven't quite grasped. And she manages to do it with an easy manner and a sense of humour. You finish a class feeling you've worked but you've had fun too. I'd definitely recommend Colleen's classes to anyone."
